A new scan accurately detects hormone-producing adrenal tumors, offering a safer, non-invasive alternative to current methods.
A new peer-reviewed Phase 2 trial published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine shows that [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT is a safe, non-invasive imaging method with high specificity for detecting unilateral aldosterone-producing adrenal adenomas in primary aldosteronism, the leading hormonal cause of hypertension.
The Australian study, funded by the CASS Foundation and Medical Research Future Fund, found strong agreement between PET/CT results and the current gold standard, adrenal vein sampling, as well as surgical outcomes.
Most patients preferred the non-invasive scan, and the findings support advancing to Phase 3 trials.
The technology could improve access to accurate diagnosis and guide curative surgery, especially as new hypertension treatments emerge.
